Slotherhouse

Slotherhouse is quite an ok experience, with funny dialogue, nicely written characters and a length of 1 hour and 33 minutes for a movie that overall, doesn't feel too much like..a movie.

The problem for me, was the sloth itself. You see, they gave him complete freedom as a killer, being able to do anything that a human does, so because of this I never got the purpose of the animal pick. Yes, they do mention that it is a lesson to leave wild animals in the wild, but I swear, if the killer here was human, this would have been a cute little slasher that worked.

I genuinely believe that if you are high, you can appreciate it a lot more.

It doesn't fall in the same category as Cocaine Bear, neither with The Gingerdead Man, somewhere in the middle, trying to be its own thing, but only partially succeeding.

All in all, for a one time view, you could do a lot worse.

Slotherhouse is more of an experience, because it feels so different than the regular horror comedy productions, so it takes some getting used to it.

Cheers!

I was sold on the trailer because sloth = cute!

That said..

+ everyone involved seemed to have a good time/tried their best + real puppet/animatronic sloth, no cgi + they know what kind of film this is but it never drifts into "Sharknado"-waters + little details, e.g. The name of the sisterhood spelling SLTH, the names of the former presidents being those of Disney princesses, "Halloween" & "Child's Play" homage

• way too long and meandering script
• the PG-13 REALLY hurt this film
• confusing direction in the montage & action scenes
• so many missed opportunities: Why not make a Freddy in the bathtub reference (sloths have claws!)? Show the sloth puppet more! We all know it's a puppet and we want to see that! Mire kills! Moore boobs!

If your selling point is a killer sloth then MAKE A BLOODY, NAUGHTY KILLER SLOTH MOVIE, ffs! This wasn't that bad but really unsatisfactory (The audience was hyped and laughed even through the trailers before the actual film. After approx. 30 mins NO ONE was laughing anymore).

I was reminded of how much better "Scream Queens" was the entire time.

Apparently movie's creator wanted to make the dumbest thing he can imagine.

Well, congratulations.

Is it dumb? Yes.

Is it fun? No.

Is it bad-good? No.

It's supposed to be a parody or something but it's just bad. Acting is bad, there wasn't one single funny bit. Maybe it was better on paper but not in reality. Script is also bad and unfunny.

Main problem is lack of imagination, just being random and stupid is not enough.

I seriously have flashbacks to Zombeavers, another not funny just bad movie you shouldn't watch. Just like you shouldn't watch this. It looks like it could be fun but in actuality isn't.

This movie feels like it was filmed by a team of YouTubers. The writing, effects, and continuity are all pretty eh. But it's far from the worst film I've seen. Probably the best feature of the movie is the film score, although that also is borderline over done. The movie survives by playing off the dumb backstabbing sorority trope, while also coming off as a slightly better low budget national lampoon film. Not something to go a theatre for though. It comes off as goofy and fun, without falling to the level of Sharknado. I'd say it's a good watch if you don't have anything else on your list. TLDR: Low budget but fun.

All the hate is definitely coming from your "quality taste" horror fans! This movie knew exactly what it was and it rolled with it and it's killed! Unlike most movies today using copious amounts of cgi it decided to go the practical route. Using a doll or animatronic it went with the Chucky approach and if you love practical affects stupid but not too stupid comedy and a plot that you can watch baker outta your mind then this is your movie. Maybe it's just me but I love comedy horror that doesn't require me to have to think how point A fits to point B! As long as you have comedy that makes me laugh and doesn't feel forced and kills whether it's shown or off camera then you've got me hook line and sinker! I'm sure I'm rating this a bit too high at the moment but I can assure this won't drop below a 7/10 after my second watch. Take the movie for what it is and enjoy it!
